Re: FBX triangulation direction out of maya?
AlecMoody > yep, never seen this thing not working afaik; history always brings some nerves when not checked properly :) pasha_sevez > huh? What you're showing right now is just something we already know. Maya has his own triangulation algo ( but you can change it to force it clockwise or counter ) and if you do not… -
Re: Sketchbook: Beestonian
Studied wangjie le for the following info: 1. Brush strokes across the contour of the form to get a better grasp of volume 2. Losing edges across forms where the normal direction relative to the light is similar, and accentuating areas of ambient occlusion near them 3. dark value areas of interest with one hard edge and… -
Re: Recreating a Stone Valley
looking really nice. only crits are: shadows should have soft edges, and less dark. the ambience from the scene should lighten up the intensity of the shadows a bit. the floor should have a blended or painted texture to break up the tiling, just to make it a bit more like the reference. the bottom of the cliff should blend… -
Re: Retopologizing multiple Meshes
Gotchya, this all starting to make sense for sure. I've got one other question I guess, as far as the low poly goes, how close does the shell of the low poly need to be of the high poly for the projection to work well? For instance, my high poly has curved/softened edges, would I have my low poly mirror that curvature… -
Re: Synched normals with one smoothing group - should I even bother?
Have you triangulated the mesh, or tried baking directly in xnormal the final tangent space map? if you have an object with a lot of soft edges...something like a rounded hull, and you can't harden them all, it is preferable to sync the baked map with the engine, you'll avoid any artifacts that may appear. For hard… -
Re: Maya subdiv modeling - creasing vs adding more edge loops/topology
some differences i noticed instantly, aside from the module window, is that the edges dont get so harsh/sharp with values over 1. I also find that I get a really tough time to impossible getting an edge that is between soft and super harsh. And my values I put in are between 0-1. another thing is that the viewport isnt… -
Re: Babydoll from Suckerpunch
A few things I've noticed - It looks like the space between the bottom of her nose and her lips is too long, also her forehead is a bit too small. I think if you lower the eyes and nose just a tad it might come closer to resembling her. - Her cheeks don't look puffy enough. - Her brow line seems a little too low on the… -
Re: Concrete wall into Rock
That screenshot's from W:ET, not ETQW ;) The key to this transition is actually having a hard edge between the two surfaces. You will need to make sure there's enough detail modelled into the lowpoly to make it look believable (jagged, broken silhouette where the rock meets the concrete). A dirt decal on the wall where the… -
Re: Bugatti Veyron WIP, 1st Model
looking very good for your first model. For the bumpy areas try evening out the edges nicely then select the poolys between the edges and apply the relax modifier, tweak the settings and collapse the stack when it looks clean but be sure to set it to leave outer points fixed. Then you can use soft selection to pull things… -
Re: Light, Shadow, and Specularity
I agree 100% poop. I've been told it's still too expensive. We're using cascading shadow maps I imagine you guys and almost everyone else is doing the same. We tried gaussian blurring the shadow map to at least give a fake softness and our game went down to zero frames per second. This is on the xbox360 of course, you…
